Beloved NFL star Vontae Davis has passed away. He was just 35 years old.

Now, new 911 calls obtained by the Miami Herald revealed where and how Davis was discovered. According to the phone call made by Davis’s personal assistant the former football player was found “on the ground unresponsive in the gym area” of his home.

According to WSVN, Davis’s remains were discovered in a Florida home by his grandmother. The discovery was made on April 1 in Southwest Ranch.
